Returning from a working visit to Canada and while in Lublin, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented state awards to Polish citizens: a journalist and a volunteer medic.

During a visit to Ottawa (Canada), the First Lady of Ukraine met with the founders of the Temerty Foundation, James Temerty and Louise Temerty, as well as with Managing Director Leah Temerty-Lord, Chief Executive Officer Mike Lord and Director of Ukrainian Initiatives at the Temerty Foundation Krystina Waler.

The interlocutors discussed common security challenges, in particular the activities of illegal armed groups financed by Russia.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska, together with Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, met with Canadian parliamentarians, representatives of political, business and expert circles, academia and the Ukrainian community.

"We are very interested in you coming to Ukraine, very interested in rebuilding Ukraine - this is what we need today. These are all areas which you are good at. We are very interested in your work, business and technology," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

During a visit to Canada, First Lady Olena Zelenska held a number of meetings and participated in the conclusion of a Ukrainian-Canadian medical partnership with the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasizes that it is impossible to remain neutral in the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, as the lack of assistance to our country means the strengthening of the Russian Federation, which will then threaten other countries.
